<strong>Operations</strong><br />
Heated Parking<br />
Facility<br />
This facility provides heated spaces<br />
for specific assigned vehicles at<br />
severe cold weather bases. Severe<br />
weather criteria: 30 or more days<br />
per year of minus 10 degrees F or<br />
lower, or with an average January<br />
temperature of 20 degrees F or<br />
lower as determined from two or<br />
more 10-year weather databases.<br />
◆ Specific vehicles may be identified<br />
as mission essential <strong>and</strong> maintained<br />
in a “ready-to-operate” status.<br />
• Aircraft servicing, emergency<br />
vehicles, aircrew transport, comm<strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> control, <strong>and</strong> support<br />

This facility serves all vehicles<br />
on the base. It provides cleaning<br />
<strong>and</strong> washing areas, <strong>and</strong> an area for<br />

a. Space Organization <strong>and</strong><br />
Character<br />
◆ Locate the facility within easy<br />
access to the U-drive-it<br />
parking lot.<br />
◆ Set facility back from the main<br />
entrance <strong>and</strong> screen it from<br />
public view.<br />
◆ Enclosure should be provided for<br />
interior vacuuming, fluid level<br />
checks, waxing, <strong>and</strong> final vehicle<br />

◆ Covered area to park cleaned<br />
vehicles awaiting pickup<br />
